Blumanga, has anyone bought something from them? I was thinking of buying Black Knight and Gakuen Heaven, but what do you think of them? Are they any good?

I really like BLU, even though I haven't read any fansubs of the series. However, I think the titles they choose are very good and the translations seem to flow very well.

For a few reviews on Black Knight, check here: http://www.animenation.net/forums/showthread.php?t=194042&highlight=Black+knight

BLU is releasing some very good BL/Yaoi series, including Love Mode, Gorgeous Carat, Black Knight, Wild Rock, Shinobu Kokoro (slightly Shota), Man's Best Friend (PWP?), and Menkui! (BL).

I'm very interested in Gakuen Heaven, since the mangaka is the same as Gorgeous Carat. I'll get it when it's released.

They are also releasing Junjou Romantica, I believe. :) I like this publisher, their translations, and the fact their books are normal sized. Yes!

Don't forget the gorgeous treatment they've given Earthian, with those really rich covers! FANtastic!

I think they seem to be working really hard to do a good job, and while most of the series they've put out don't really appeal to me, they've replied when I've contacted them via email to make suggestions or ask questions... so I think they really are interested in pleasing their readers.

Shinobu Kokoro was cute. I also read Wild Rock, which had pretty art but I don't know that "cavemen" is necessarily a genre that interests me. Ha! But yeah, so far they seem to be doing a good job.

I say that you should definently get them. BLU is releasing/has released some of my favorite yaoi titles so far (Wild Rock, Man's Best Friend, Gorgeous Carat, Shout Out Loud...). I hear their translations are very accurate as well, and the books are good quality.
Has anyone gotten Gerard and Jacques vol. 1 yet? Isn't it from the same manga-ka of Antique Bakery? I have it coming in the mail and can't wait to read it.
I am glad they are releasing Gakuen Heaven, especially since it's by You Higuri.

I can happily say that I have yet to be disapointed in BLU's work ^_^. The translations have been good in what I've read, and the prices are normally (unlike some of DMPs stuff that is $12). They got some good titles too ^_^. Love Mode is great.

Wild Rock was really good! Hot guys and great art!

Dazzlekitty, did you get your copy in the mail, yet? I tried to order it at my local bookstore, and they said they couldn't. They said it should be out and they are going to send an inquiry to the home office.

I read the preview yesterday, and I'm really looking forward to it.

[DazzleKitty]

I just got it today. If you wanna know where I got it, you can PM me. ;)

I recommend you buying Gakuen Heaven. Give it a try. It's worth it.
